One of the complications of Alzheimer's disease is an interference with learning and memory. This disease would most likely involve ________.
A) changes in the concentration of ions in the extracellular fluid surrounding neurons
B) changes in myelination of axons
C) molecular and structural changes at synapses
D) structural changes to ion channels in axons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Molecular and structural changes at synapses are common in Alzheimer's disease and can interfere with learning and memory. While changes in ion concentration and myelination can affect nervous system function, they are not directly related to memory and learning impairments in Alzheimer's disease. Structural changes to ion channels may have an impact on nervous system function but are not a primary hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.
